...Louis World's Fair by Cass Gilbert, a leading architect of the Beaux Arts school. The airy building, with a 78-ft.-high vaulted ceiling, had over the years become so cluttered and partitioned that it looked more like a warren than a pleasure dome. Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates gutted the interior to restore the structure's openness-and in the process increased the display space by 10,000 sq. ft. Windows were added, and the walls resurfaced in soft French gray...
Senior co-captains Glenn Fine and Bob Hooft shared most valuable player honors, and Bob Allen was named next year's captain at the annual basketball banquet, held last night under the Great Dome at Quincy Market...
Under the Great Dome at Quincy Market last night, the problems emerging from the debate between the two schools of thought were easily apparent. The evening was a study in contrasts, from the pedestrian Chicken Cordon Bleu served at Ritz-Carlton prices, to the disparate guest speakers, the Hon. Hamilton Fish Sr. '10 and former Marquette coach Al McGuire...
...chain reaction. But the loss of water in the primary loop allowed the reactor to get too hot. When more water was pumped into the system, the pressure rose ?and other relief valves opened. These valves vented some of the radioactive steam out of the top of the dome. When the core temperature continued to rise, employees deliberately vented more steam in brief bursts. Some of the spilled radioactive water from the primary loop was automatically drawn from the containment dome's floor into the neighboring pump-house building, which does not normally handle radioactive material...
...melts through the floor of the containment building into the ground and possibly erupts in a geyser of steam and debris upon hitting the ground water, releasing a radioactive cloud into the air. As the final precaution, the reactor and primary loop are shielded by a thick concrete containment dome, which should prevent the venting of any radioactivity into the atmosphere-as long as a meltdown does not occur and if there are no other mishaps or blunders. Obviously, at Three Mile Island, these fail-safe systems somehow failed...
